My stay at this hotel was quite mixed. While the rooms were clean and had a lovely view, the service left a lot to be desired, especially during breakfast. The location was picturesque but a bit inconvenient for transportation. Dining was incredible, with an impressive selection of food, but the breakfast buffet fell short of expectations. Overall, it offers great value for money, but there's definitely room for improvement.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was mostly clean and comfortable, making it great value for money. The spacious rooms had all the amenities I needed, but I had to keep the curtains closed due to the garage nearby. The service was friendly and included some nice touches like a birthday cake, though one staff member seemed a bit off. The location is peaceful, but a bit distant from the city center, which might not work for everyone.
